School Board Petitions - 2026 General Election
Charlie Kratovil made this OPRA request to Salem County as part of a batch sent to 21 authorities
Hello,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-5(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
1) copies of all candidate petitions filed for Board of Education contests in the 2026 general election
2) copies of any challenges received to the aforementioned petitions
3) documentation of any determinations made related to the aforementioned petitions
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. If the files are too big to email, you can share a Google Drive folder with my gmail (ckratovil), or use a file transfer service like WeTransfer.com.
Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Yours faithfully,
Charlie Kratovil
